Technical Description

The SHANGHAI INSTRUMENT CG6125C manual lathe features a **swing capacity of 9.8 inches** and a **distance between centers of 19.6 inches**, allowing it to handle medium-sized workpieces efficiently. It has a **spindle bore diameter of 1.25 inches**, providing ample space for larger tool or material through-feed. The lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of **2,500 RPM**, suitable for a range of turning, threading, and facing operations. The **swing over the cross slide is 5.1 inches**, which defines the maximum diameter workpiece that can be turned over the tool post. This lathe is designed for precision manual metalworking tasks, equipped with hardened and ground bed ways for stability and accuracy during machining. The spindle is typically supported by precision bearings, ensuring smooth rotation and reduced vibration. It is suitable for workshops requiring versatile, reliable machining for jobs like shaft turning, threading, and custom component fabrication. The manual gear and feed mechanisms allow for a variety of thread cutting and feeding options, controlled via easily accessible levers. Overall, the CG6125C is an industrial-grade engine lathe tailored for accurate, repeatable metal cutting with a robust build and moderate size capacity.
